After Tong Yuan and Zhang discussed in detail how to settle the people, ensure the development of production and the response of the Four Seas Merchant Gang to the new situation, they looked out the window, it was already dawn, and the day had already passed.

Fatigue is definitely there, but life is so fulfilling.

Tong Yuan finally asked: "De Rong, is there any problem with your hometown of Gaoling?" ”

Zhang Ji smiled: "More than 1,000 acres of land must still be taken care of, but in terms of business, except for some sites and transferred to the merchant gang, most of them have long been transferred to Xiayang and Jawyang." I believe that many people will come in this direction in the near future. ”

……

Ten days later, groups of refugees fled from Chiyang, Anling, Yangling and other counties in the battlefield area, and even a little farther away Chang'an, Gaoling, Wannian and other places had thousands of residents had to leave their homes.

Historically, their preferred choice was Jingzhou and Hanzhong, which were relatively close and prosperous, followed by distant Yangzhou and Bashu, and finally some people moved to the Western Regions. So much so that a few decades later, the proportion of Hu people in the section from Chang'an to Wuwei in Liangzhou was higher than that in the more distant area from Wuwei to Dunhuang.

Now, however, although Jingzhou is the first choice of the scholars, some of the poor refugees have given priority to the three counties of Xiayang, which are said to be praised, as well as Hedong County.

A total of 50,000 people poured in, and tens of thousands more are estimated to arrive one after another.

Under the leadership of Tong Yuan and Zhang Ji's specific arrangement, more than 5,000 people from Zhuangding and their families, who had helped them two years ago, were arranged in an orderly manner into Mintun in the three counties.

These people have become refugees, and when they enter Mintun, they are no longer from the same place. In terms of rationing, it is also directly one stone per month for strong labor, and as long as the old and weak women and children can participate in labor, 100 catties to 200 catties. It was also in return for their help back then.

Half of the remaining 40,000 people have left their hometowns, and their own land has long been "bought" by the Xiliang army or the scholars, and they are too weak, and they have been abandoned under the layers of screening by warlords, scholars, and heroes.

They simply can't survive in their homeland. These people all volunteered to stay, and nearly 10,000 refugees begged Dong Bai and Tong Yuan to give them a way to live, even if they were willing to be slaves to large families.

Tong Yuan asked Juntun to conduct a round of screening of them, among which each family had strong laborers, or relatives in the three counties and Hedong, and selected them and prepared to be sent to the counties of Hedong to be absorbed by the Mintun there.

According to preliminary calculations, the counties in Hedong are vast and sparsely populated, and some counties have just over 1,000 people, and if they are filled with tun people, it is estimated that they can absorb more than 30,000 people.

However, these refugees really suffered too much hardship and suffering, and under the slightly stricter standards, only more than 9,000 people in total met the conditions that Tong Yuan arranged for Mintun in Hedong, and the remaining 30,000 people were really hungry to the point of starvation and cold.

Zhang also has a plan for this. He sent military officials to the tunhu to widely publicize among the refugees that if they were willing to follow the Xinxi Liang army to recover and merge the state, and later take the Shangjun region in the north as their home, they could also stay and give food and land.

If you just take refuge here temporarily and don't want to join Tuntian, then it is not a big problem, so you will temporarily settle down on the south bank of Luoshui under the management of Juntun.

The grain will be sold at the price of the summer of the previous year, and the spring will be sold according to the summer, which must be relatively black-hearted. However, in these years, it was also priced by those who had food.

Tong Yuan was also a little apprehensive about this arrangement, and he didn't know if there was enough food to sell in the three counties.

Zhang Ji was confident, and under his arrangement, three huge temporary markets were established on the north bank of Luoshui in an instant. The people of Xiayang, Haoyang, and Yaxian can enter the special market and sell them at a price no higher than the prescribed maximum after being examined by the military tun.

The refugees on the south bank of Luoshui can cross the river in an orderly manner to buy, and then return to the refugee area on the south bank before dark under the supervision of the Tuntian army.

If you really don't have the money to get by, you can also join the army of the recovery and annexation of the state, so you can take it to the foot of Liangshan in the north of Haoyang and temporarily settle down.

Is there enough grain to sell? Of course there is, and it's much simpler than expected.

It turned out that Tong Yuan had been distributing sufficient food rations to the people for more than a year. Although there are a few elderly people and children who cannot participate in labor at home, and they will definitely be tight, most of them have already eaten enough.

Some people in Mintun do not undertake tasks such as assisting in operations and engineering construction like the military tuns, and they will have some control after living a hard life, and they will not really eat more than 200 catties of grain and grass a month.

They will save some corn and wheat that are easy to preserve, in case of a natural disaster. Now, they can just make a big sale and make some money.

However, some small farmers really had no choice, so they were busy with spring ploughing and ran to the Luoshui to sell. The 100 catties of grain hoarded by their own family are really not worth delaying this important production season.

Therefore, most of the people who came from Xiayang were scholars, Haoqiang and big households, and if the small farmers came, they were also old people who could carry food at home, and after coming over, they could not compete with those big households in the market in Xiayang.

And Tuntian doesn't have to worry about this problem. Under the management of Zhang Ji, Mintun mobilized the enthusiasm of the grassroots officials, and organized people to sell in the market with the tun and the team as units, so as to avoid the impact of spring ploughing.

The first team is 20 households, and there are 100 households in one tun, and each unit spontaneously carried out various forms of exploration in accordance with the wishes of each family. Some teams take turns selling for money, while others directly exchange livestock and tools.

Most of the tuners made a fortune, and even the most timid and cautious people made a few months of money through this time. After all, Wei Yang Jun and Hao Yang Hou will continue to give them that high standard ration next month.

For example, there is a tun that at the beginning called on the people to take out some grain and sell it from the tunli. Each family did not dare to take risks, and only gave out about twenty or thirty catties each. Tunli went to sell and immediately made a lot of money, and the families were so surprised that they quickly squeezed out the surplus grain, and finally got three whole ox carts to sell. In exchange for two cows, more than ten farm tools, 100 catties of cloth and a large number of five baht coins.

After all, the refugees were originally the people of Sanfu, and what they lacked was a safe farming environment, and no matter how poor they were, they could barter for things and live this period of military disasters. If you really don't have anything in your hand, then participate in the recovery and annexation of the state. A large amount of land in Shangjun, not far away, is beckoning to them.

If someone gathers to break the rules, the elite military tun of the former Xiliang Army and the Baibo Army will teach them to be a man in minutes. As a result, everything is advancing in the set order, those who should join in, those who should buy food buy food, as long as the way to survive is given, no one will want to make trouble.

But for example, the Xiayang County Order has a little doubt? Since the grain in the granary of the Xinxi Liang Army is very sufficient, why not organize the military tun and go directly to sell it?

His own warehouses and the people have enough food, why do they organize the people to sell, but Tong Yuan has money but doesn't make it? Is Our Lady possessed?

Of course not, and there is great wisdom in this "little thing".

If Tong Yuan went to sell grain in exchange for livestock, tools and money, would he give it to the people and the people?

If you don't give it, the people think that you don't give them benefits when you make money, and you rob them of the way to make money.

Yes, your people and your people are happy. However, the refugees will still complain that it was Tong Yuan who took their property and distributed it to others, and the enthusiasm and loyalty to participate in the recovery and annexation of the state will be greatly reduced.

It is different for the people and the common people to sell grain to make money, they are not only happy to make this money, but also think that the food distributed to them by Tong Yuan is very precious. After all, compared with the other side of Luoshui, the impression will be very deep.

The refugees attached themselves to Tong Yuan to recover and annex the state, and they would not complain about Tong Yuan, but wanted to work hard in the future, and wanted to compare these people who had earned them. This motivation is much stronger.

In addition, there is a very important reason, that is, the stored grain is fundamental, and it may not be worth exchanging money now.

Later, there were wars and chaos, and only with soldiers and food could we do a lot of things. Taking a step back, it may be worth more to sell it later.

Under the same total amount, the role of the grain in the warehouse is much greater than that of the scattered grain in the hands of the people.

The matter of exchanging grain for land and armament is the specialty of the scholars and landlords, but if Tong Yuan does it, they will all be willing to bow down.

Under the orderly arrangement, most of these Sanfu people were grateful to Dong Bai, Tong Yuan and Xinxi Liangjun.

At the same time, Chang'an's grain has been sold at sky-high prices, with 500,000 Gu Yihu, 200,000 beans and wheat, and even a terrifying cannibalism. The nobles and warlords did not care about the life and death of the people, and the power of the court and their own interests became the starting point of almost all their actions.

Li Ru in Chang'an City is among them, and he is now obsessed with revenge and power, and wants to kill all those who once spurned him. Even if Li Dao, Guo Yan and others did not listen to his suggestions and arrangements, and even went against him, he was still angry and would repay him.

He wants to prove to the world that Dong Zhuo's failure was because he didn't listen to his strategy and took the blame on himself. And he, Li Ru, is the hero who knows how to survive the most in the world.

For example, there were a large number of refugees in Chang'an and Sanfu, and warlords such as Li Dao and the major scholars were bent on reaping the benefits and cutting off all the strong people in the population. Emperor Han Xian was suffering from the current situation, but no one came up with a plan, so he had to ask Dong Cheng, who was newly promoted to the uncle of the country.

This Dong Cheng was the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he was related to the Empress Dowager Dong, who was killed by He Jin and Empress He, and established Liu Xie, who was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, as the emperor, and pacified and appointed the people of the former Empress Dowager Dong.

As a result, Dong Cheng became a member of the Xiliang Army, and Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were all under the command of Niu Fu. Later, he participated in the counterattack on Chang'an, and was named a miscellaneous general, becoming one of the important forces in the Xiliang Army.

Dong Cheng has always been amicable to all parties in Chang'an, and his harmless appearance of being wide and fat has left a good impression on many people.
